I thought it would be very interesting to see what all the weightweenies are riding. Seems like we have a great demographic of cyclists here and plenty of people building from scratch. So, what are you choosing? You can post your reasons if you want below but we all must remember that it is absolutely pointless to argue about it. So, Campy, Shimano, Sram, electric, changing soon (as in already got it in the works), or youre just riding whatever the bike came with.fyi, you can choose 2.

Two Shimano Ultegra 6700 groups for me, I really love the smooth shifting feel, reliability, Shimano's customer service, the industrial aesthetics and the ability to go into any bike shop around the world and most likely purchase a replacement part immediately if necessary. The only thing that I HATE about it is the weight penalty to comparable SRAM and Campagnolo groups.

According to a friend, SRAM is for sprinters and Shimano is for climbers... how many people agree with this statement? Sorry if this hijacks the thread, just thought it was relevant because this thread reminded me of this statement.

SRAM is perfectly functional, a little lighter, and costs less. I feel like I am shifting a tractor using toy plastic levers though. Shimano has a much smoother and more refined feel. I think I will go back to Shimano when the 11 speed comes out.I should probably consider campy too, but it always just seems way to expensive.
